CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Maisie

“How does it feel to be a real adult?” Charlie’s gray eyes sparkled with mischief as he looked over his tumbler of Irish whiskey and waited for me to answer.

I shrugged and knocked back a shot of tequila before chasing it with a gulp of icy margarita. “Don’t know. I’ll let you know when I start feeling like a real adult.” Still living in a room at my aunt and uncle’s house didn’t exactly scream adulthood. Neither did getting a brand new car as a graduation gift, even though I was grateful as hell for it. “Eventually, I’ll have to get my shit together.”

“You’re only twenty-one Maze. You’ve got time. My mom and dad pressuring you to get a job or something?”

“No. I mean not yet anyway, but it’s only a matter of time. Enough about me, tell me how it feels to be an official badass?” Only a few months had passed since he was patched as a member of the Mayhem Chapter of the Reckless Bastards.

Charlie let out a derisive snort and raked a hand through his dark hair with a sigh. “The problem with going into the family biz is that everyone still treats me like a kid who’s playing at being a biker. Doesn’t matter that I already know as much as Jag about computers and surveillance, plus my skills are superior at this point.” He shook his head and finished off the whiskey, waving to the hot blond bartender for a refill. “It’s always how fucking cute Charlie is growing up.”

It was funny to hear a biker complaining about his job like a regular nine to five, but also kind of comforting to see there wasn’t much difference between the MC and the other working stiffs.

“Gunnar had a prospect, Ford. Built like a brick shithouse but the most adorable baby face you’d ever seen. He’s old as fuck now, but he’s aged about twenty years in the last decade and they still give him shit.”

“Yeah, thanks. That doesn’t make me feel any better, Maze.”

“Well, try being a girl with all these bikers. Talk about overprotective and nosy. The wouldn’t even let me in the MC. Even though Chance is patched.” I took a long drink of my margarita. Chance. I really missed her badassery. “Just wait until there’s someone beneath you in the pecking order and they’ll stop treating you like a kid. Or find a new MC,” I snorted. We both knew that wasn’t an option. It was the Reckless Bastards, or it was nothing.

When the cute bartender set the second round of drinks down, he eyed me carefully but not like he was checking me out. More like he was checking up on me. Or something. “Thanks,” Charlie growled when the guy stared a little too long. “Mom said you’ve been seeing someone?”

“Are we gossiping now, Charlie?”

He shrugged, his steely gaze focused on someone or something just beyond my shoulder that put me on edge. Charlie was eagle-eyed and he didn’t miss much.
